About Me

I am a former consulant and now Java EE/GlassFish technology evangelist with Oracle Corporation. I am the author of the popular book EJB 3 in Action. I am a frequent speaker at Java User Groups and conferences worldwide. I've been a member of the Java EE, EJB and JMS expert groups. I implemented the EJB container for the Resin open source Java EE application server.

My ramblings on Java EE, Java SE and the crazy World of technology in general.

Java EE 6 Coming Soon!

I am very excited to hear that the JCP process for Java EE 6 is starting! Here is a link to the JSR! It is slated as JSR 316. Instead of being on the side-lines, I joined the JSR committee this time on. I joined as an "independent expert" and will contribute my views on how to improve on the spec (the EJB3/JPA spec in particular).

Most encouragingly, Rod Johnson is apparently looking forward to joining the committee too. This is definitely a welcome development that has many good implications for the Java EE standard!

Feel free to email me your ideas on how to improve the next Java EE version! I'll try my best to represent the ideas in the JCP...
